Either he meant Stearns or he meant that Cohen never *truly* knew Alonso until that moment.

Mike Puma dropped this nugget today: When an "animated" Pete Alonso met with Met officials in early February, he told David Stearns his long term plan was to hit 500 homers and go to the Hall of Fame. Two hours later, the Mets and Alonso had a deal.

tommy kahnle is 36, there’s a solid chance that’s his last major league pitch, and i hate that for him — i always root for the rule 5 draft picks and he’s just the most enjoyable kind of meathead

From what I can gather, Humpy is the Bronx Giraffe of the Mariners salmon race?

This is accurate. And having the original rules in extra innings for just the postseason makes the playoffs that much more special.

Jarrett Seidler @seidler.bsky.social · 17h

Everyone doing anti-Manfred Man discourse is forgetting the part where if that happened in a random June game there would’ve been 12 people left in the park and it would’ve been considered the most dreadful game of the year

Lot of premature champagne poppers in the Seattle clubhouse. Not judging.

Mike Gianella @mikegianella.bsky.social · 17h

Luis Castillo was El Guijarro when this game started

Jerry Chen @jcsalterego.bsky.social · 18h

Cal Raleigh was small dumper when this game started

Roger Cormier @yayroger.bsky.social · 17h

I too was at the Benny walk-off! You got me on the other two.

Roger Cormier @yayroger.bsky.social · 17h

Fox was smart enough to put the Cal Raleigh interview on a six-second delay.

Roger Cormier @yayroger.bsky.social · 17h

Mariners Game 1 ALCS starter? You guessed it: Frank Stallone

There it is, two hours later

When comes joy?

Roger Cormier @yayroger.bsky.social · 17h

I don't care that they won I can't take being a Mariners fan anymore.

Roger Cormier @yayroger.bsky.social · 17h

Balk would be funny/perfect

Roger Cormier @yayroger.bsky.social · 17h

I’m saving that for the next inning

Chris @thechriswilcox.bsky.social · 18h

They had a 16 inning one too. They’ve played some long playoff games.

Roger Cormier @yayroger.bsky.social · 18h

The Mets played a 15-inning playoff game before. It ended in a "grand slam single". I'll tell you all about it someday.

I was also on duty for that game. I much prefer this viewing experience.

Spooky Ghostsulias 👻 @stacegotsbaseball.com · 18h

This reminds me of when I was on duty for Baseball Prospectus during the 2018 WS and I wrote the recap for the 18-inning game. I filed my story at 6 AM.

Haha.

Roger Cormier @yayroger.bsky.social · 18h

Hey, we know how to play softball

Dilemma: I have one beer left in the fridge. When do I open it?
